A Mind to Murder 1995

A Mind to Murder (1995)    Commander Dalgliesh has been on leave following the shooting death of a member of his team but he's called in on a murder case at a psychiatric clinic.  It's difficult enough to solve a crime and get truthful information from people.  Here at the clinic you don't know if what the patients are telling you is true or part of their mental problem.  It isn't any easier when he finds out the victim was generally not well liked.  Busybody, snobbish, judgmental were a few of her characteristics.

    This film is different from the other Dalgliesh movies I've recently watched.  It's only 101 minutes instead of 200-300 minutes!!  Even in the short time there is still a lot of action, a lot of characters and solving the crime quickly is not easy.  Dalgliesh says it's either greed or love as the motive?  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

101 min, Mystery, directed by Gareth Davies with Roy Marsden, Mariead Carty, Sean Scanian.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, umdb 6.5 out 10, 28% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
